Ferrara's Bakery in Little Italy, New York City does have them.
They also have canoli cakes. We order them both for the holidays....along with the mini chocolate covered canoli.
They arrive frozen.

But nothing beats home made. I used to make regular rum cakes with Baccardi rum.......but never attempt tiramisu. If you find your recipe, I'd appreciate having it. A very delicate flavor, for sure.
I will be able to unpack that box in a few weeks and get you the recipe. The box is buried right now, waiting for some cabinetry to be installed. It's an old book from the '70s.

Maybe I'll make another one for DH!
